Selpercatinib is a special kind of medication that targets RET, which is often a problem in certain cancers like NSCLC, medullary thyroid cancer, and others with RET changes. It works by keeping RET from doing its thing. You can get this medication in 40 mg and 80 mg capsule forms.
Doctors usually recommend taking 160 mg of this stuff two times a day, whether you eat or not. You’ll find this in bottles that hold 60 capsules. This drug is used to zero in on and slow down the RET protein.
It’s often too active or not working right in lots of cancers. This drug is really picky about what it blocks, which helps make it work better and not mess up anywhere else in the body.
